Act II of Queen City Game Changers was an absolute breath of fresh air π¬ (Act I in September was so busy I forgot to take pictures!)
After Halloween/Diwali/Period Power Workshop/Daylight Savings Time/Election Day (and the Day of the Dead, thanks for that realization, Nancy!) all in the span of a week, I was so pleasantly surprised to find a full day of leadership and executive coaching to be refreshing and fun rather than the tipping point of burnout. I'm just in awe of all the women in this year's class and my dear Cohort 1, as well as the wonderful speakers and panelists. These trailblazers are out here putting in WORK in their respective fields, and I'm so lucky to be in their orbits. Much appreciation to the corporate sponsors who included a handful of us entrepreneurs in this program-we don't always understand your corporate speak, but we are taking so much away from this experience nonetheless!

Thank you, Jenna, for teaching us how to empower ourselves through each phase of our cycles π

Happy World OT Day! Posting from a family wedding! Thanks, Jenna, for realizing the date and creating the post πππ
Ever wondered how we learn to treat the pelvic floor? We start by taking continuing education courses since most OT or PT grad school programs do not include much, if any, on pelvic health. Our courses all have a manual component, where we learn the anatomy and practice treatment techniques on each other. Then, back out in the field to practice practice practice!
It's a bit different for our grad students. They have pre-requisite courses (covering theory and manual techniques) to complete before coming to our clinic as students, so we really only take students who are extremely interested and willing to go the extra mile for this specialty. However, they have the benefit of spending tons of time in sessions with their clinical instructor as she treats clients (all with permission from the client, of course!). They demonstrate competence with general pelvic health diagnoses and treatments, palpation skills, and external and internal manual therapy skills-including a vaginal pelvic floor muscle exam-on their clinical instructor before ever trying a skill on a client. Students leave with entry-level competency in this specialty field, with the understanding that they will still need mentoring as they enter their first jobs as licensed therapists. Our former students, Abby (2022) and Chandler (2023), both accepted pelvic health jobs right out of school and are both still working in the pelvic health field!
Here is Jenna getting ready to practice her internal manual skills on me (Rakhi) again earlier this morning! She got tons of feedback in real time that she will be able to utilize as she goes forth with clients.
Many thanks to our current clients who have been so gracious as to allow Jenna to treat them! It makes a huge difference in their learning to be able to treat, rather than just observe. ππ½ππ½ππ½
*I already have OT grad students booked for 2025 and 2026, and am unable to accept more students at this time.

Hey hey, friends! We are hosting our first workshop in our new space in Anderson, and it's all about periods! Gone are the days where we stay hush hush about this topic...now is the time to learn to use your cycle as a superpower! Join us November 2nd as our intern, Jenna, teaches us about all things menstrual π©Έπ©Έπ©Έ.
There is no cost for this workshop, but we would still appreciate if you would register through the booking link on our website (www.queencitypelvichealth.com) so we can manage our space. We would also LOVE if, instead of paying us, you would make a donation to @tidalbabeperiodbank, a local organization working to end period poverty in the Tri-State!
Hope to see you on November 2nd!

Happy happy birthday to our dear Karly! ππ
This seemed like a good opportunity to re-introduce Dr. Karly Maines, PT, DPT, OCS! Karly joined Queen City Pelvic Health just over a year ago, and is the PT who runs our Fort Thomas, Kentucky location π
Karly has been a physical therapist since 2012 and has been specializing in pelvic health since 2019. Karly also earned her Orthopedic Clinical Specialty 𦴠since 2015, and thus is open to treating both pelvic health and general physical therapy clients. She is certified in dry needling and skilled with manual therapy techniques. She recently became Pilates teacher-trained, and is currently also teaching Pilates at @ivpilates in Fort Thomas (QCPH's next door neighbor!). Karly lives in her hometown of Fort Thomas with her husband and three kiddos π‘
Cheers to you, friend! We love you, and hope you get spoiled rotten on your birthday πππ

It's been an insanely busy month at QCPH! I hit up a nice fall festival with my family this weekend, and it finally really hit me that it's OCTOBER! It's midway through October, and I haven't wished my wonderful physical therapists a Happy Physical Therapy Month!
Karly Maines and Alex Wessels, you two are truly amazing therapists, moms, and friends. You were hired first for your beautiful hearts for people, and I was lucky to find your resumes were incredibly impressive as well! I am so grateful to know you, and I am so incredibly honored to have you be a part of QCPH.
Some of you may not realize that there's occasionally some butting heads between pelvic OTs and PTs regarding whose scope of practice pelvic therapy fits best in. We haven't felt much of that here in our region, or maybe I'm just blissfully unaware π. We have different degrees and different lenses through which we approach our work, but we have the same background and education in the pelvic health specialty-which is all taught in continuing education courses outside of our Masters/Doctorate degrees. Karly and Alex have never thought twice about working with or for an OT. We each have our strengths and interests that we capitalize on in order to achieve client success, and having both disciplines on the team has been an invaluable asset to our practice.
To all my PT buddies over the last 14 years who taught me in so many ways how to be the best OT I could be, Happy PT Month! π«Άπ½π«±πΌπ«²π½π₯°

Feeling grateful to have been awarded the Virginia Scardina Lectureship Award by the Ohio Occupational Therapy Association tonight in Columbus! Thank you so much to current OOTA president Christie Tuttle @sissierocks33, with whom I used to serve on the OOTA Southwest District Board, for the nomination!
I felt an overwhelming sense of pride as I listened to the accomplishments of the other award winners and remembered just how broad the scope of OT can reach. Very appreciative of all the OOTA state and district board members who volunteer their time, often thanklessly, to support OT practitioners and consumers of OT services!
So with this award comes a request to present at next year's state conference! Let me know what topic in pelvic health, reproductive health, or sexual health you'd like to learn more about and I'll make it happen!

Happy Friday, Friends! Thought we would take a moment to celebrate this wonderful team and share some of our recent reviews and messages. Thank you to those to leave Google reviews or mention us on the local Facebook mom groups (or family/friend dinners!)...we know these are very private matters, but the reviews and shout outs really help people decide if we may be a good fit for their needs! We appreciate you helping us talk about the quiet things out loud! π£π£π£

Hey friends! We keep a tight lock on Alex's schedule here at QCPH, since she has limited hours with us. We have openings on her schedule in Anderson Township available for online booking next week, as long as you are available for all your visits on Monday or Wednesday mornings during the "preschool hours."
Alex loves working with our pregnant and postpartum clients (although her skill set knows no bounds!) and is also trained as a Pilates instructor. She loves keeping a long-term wellness model in mind as she works with her clients.

Fun Fact Friday: Student Edition!
Welcome to our new student, Jenna! Jenna is an OT student doing her final 12 week clinical rotation before completing her Masters in Occupational Therapy; she just completed a rotation in pediatrics in Colorado Springs. She will be with me (Rakhi) in Anderson, but may spend some time shadowing Alex and Karly as well. We hope she will get to know many of our wonderful Cincinnati community partners as well (see you next week, @cincypostpartum!).
Not gonna lie, this song makes me cry already, picturing my 3 year old heading off to follow his dreams one day. To Jenna's parents...we'll take care of your girl for you while we have her!

We are celebrating 1 full year of our second location in Fort Thomas, Kentucky being open ππ₯ππΌπ But we are ESPECIALLY celebrating 1 full year of our beloved Dr. Karly Maines, PT, DPT, OCS providing exceptional services in the community in which she was raised. If you haven't met Karly, you're missing out on getting to know one of the absolute smartest, kindest, and most empathetic practitioners and people you could meet. We love you, Karly! ππ₯°ππ₯°π
Here is what Karly had to say as she reflected back on her first year:
"It has been one year since I joined Queen City Pelvic Health and Wellness. It has been a year of growth. I have learned so much about myself through the autonomy QCPH has allowed me. I have always loved my career, but the million opportunities that have developed from QCPH are something I never thought possible. I can be present for my kids under my own circumstances. I can take my career in the direction I find most valuable for my clients. I can take the time to network with colleagues to truly develop my skills as a therapist. I have found so much joy in my day to day! I thank you, QCPH, for this opportunity and the million dreams that keep me alive inside!"
Book a pelvic health or general physical therapy evaluation with Karly at www.queencitypelvichealth.com today! Referrals are not needed, as Kentucky is a direct access state!

What a great weekend we had at the #otsinpelvichealthsummit in Arizona! My heart was filled seeing so many wonderful friends from across the country again and meeting new friends...the Canadians were in the house this year! Thank you, Lisa @next.level.therapy, for asking me to assist in your manual skills lab...I was able to teach without the anxiety and prep π. I'm coming back to Cincinnati with new energy, new ideas, and my cup overflowing from all the hugs and love β€οΈ
